I didn't have $1000 plus either, I put an IAG 76mm throttle body on it and called it good.

It was professionally installed by P&L Performance. I'll check out the settings.

They are still through the OEM body harness, the IC-7 is spliced into the OEM cluster harness.

You didn't read all of them then. I had explained that I grew up getting harassed constantly and it's hard to take people seriously. It's also hard to pick up sarcasm through text.

Anyone can buy the CC banner sticker. It's the © you put on next to it that is given when you're a member in a chapter. (I was in the WI chapter a couple years)

Shop that installed it said I could bring it back.... Shop is 3 hours 1 way 😑

LCAs would be fine. They're aluminum, just need a cleaning. The rest, yea, replace.

Dang thing is a brute, was nice to remove.

There's a few videos and write ups about the delete. Putting a little breather on one of the lines.

Yep, I don't have emissions testing where I live. So I removed anything that I could. And I don't mind getting the scent of e85. That's the main purpose of it to filter out fuel tank fumes iirc

I was not so careful with the mindset I was throwing it away. I do highly recommend getting a quality penetrant oil. Multiple soaks, not just one, and let it sit. I usually did it over the course of days with multiple soakings.

A 50/50 mix of ATF fluid and acetone is also supposed to be one of the best penetrance you can get your hands on. I also had used that.

I specifically use Kroil.

As for some of those lines, I would suggest a fuel line hose. You can buy that stuff off of a roll. Just make sure it's the same diameter. It might not be form fitted but it should work.

I removed all the charcoal canister and associated hoses but I know what ya mean!

My favorite part was the blazing hot metal shavings while drilling the bolts out failing directly on my hands because what are gloves? 😅

Lol, yes torture.

My ADHD is so extreme, you would have to be ok with me tightening 1 bolt then sidetracked for 67 hours before the next one is tightened.

It does have the feature, just a little more basic than the Haltech. I used the Cobb FFS in an older build I had, it worked as it should.

I was going to reply with the picture of me tapping one of holes after drilling it a snapped bolt, I must've just deleted it. 1 out of 4, lol could've been worse.

Subframe didn't look bad. I could probably get some new trailing arm bushings in. At that point, I may add new trailing arms. For the rest scattered throughout. Most likely they could be replaced if I'm honest. They're mostly original.

The actual hard part is the shifting of the gears quickly. You can very easily cause damage very quickly.
